FDC2214EVM: fdc 2214

FDC2214EVM: FDC2214 EVM

Part Number: FDC2214EVM

I couldn't connect EVM to the sensing solution GUI. In device manager-Ports-EVM is detected but it shows an error msg 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'. I have installed sensing solutions GUI v1.10.0. This didn't install the device driver as shown in the user guide. This device was connected for sometime initially when I first connected but now it is not connecting. Please let me know what to do.

    Hello Chetan,

     

    Thank you for your question,

    Code 10 errors are typically associated with driver issues for a USB device.

    The drivers are located in:

     

    C:\ti\Sensing Solutions EVM GUI-1.9.4\EVM Driver

     

    You can update the drivers using "Device Manager”

     

    Please let me know if this helps solve your issue.

     

    Thank you,

    Jacob

    i have tried that. but it didn't work. Will the older version solve the issue? if yes where can I find that I mean EVM GUI 1.8.8

    Hi Chetan,

    I do not think the older version will make any difference in this case.

    Can you try to reinstall the GUI with administrative rights? Some users have encountered issues with this in the past.

    If this still does not work, please try to keep the Device Manager open when connecting to the EVM. This has been noted as an issue for some versions of Windows.

     

    Regards,

    Jacob

    Der Jacob,

                 Thanks for responding. I have done like what you suggested. But still its not working. Iam attaching the pictures during connection for your understanding of the problem. My evm model is FDC 2214 EVM SV601187 Rev A. Iam not getting any light (green or red) upon connecting. In device manager/Ports, when it tried to update the driver it showed that the best drivers are already installed. Please tell me what else can be done to make ti work??

    Hello Chetan,

    I am sorry to hear you are still encountering issues with the EVM.

    I appreciate the pictures and further description of the error you are encountering.

    There is one more procedure we can attempt in order to resolve the issue. The MSP device can be put into “BSL mode” by connecting pin PUR to VUSB, See below for pinout

    VUSB is connected to C29, and PUR is connected to R6. The green squares below represent the two pads that need to be connected together to enable BSL mode.

                    

    If you connect these two pads together, the MSP430 will allow for the firmware to be re-flashed onto the microcontroller. The success of this action can be confirmed with a multimeter. Plugging the EVM into the computer should result in the PUR pin set to 0V. After BSL mode is enabled, the PUR pin should now be set to 3.3V. Note, the wire needs to only be connected between the respective pads temporarily. You should be able to remove the connection wire and verify the PUR pin remains at 3.3V.

     

    Now you can re-flash the EVM by following the steps detailed in this E2E thread: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/664915/ldc2114evm-ldc2114evm-firmware-file-needed/2445916#2445916

     

    You should be able to use the .txt file included in the Sensing Solutions GUI to re-flash the board.

    Please let me know if you have any issues with completing the re-flash process.

     

    Thank you,

    Jacob
